AMERICA’S MOST ACCREDITED

We’re so proud!

Nationally only 10% of daycares are accredited – nearly 100% of our learning centers are. That’s a big difference,
and that means KinderCare kids are getting the very best. Here’s why.

SCHOOL-READY

What Learning Looks Like

Our talented early-childhood teachers set kids down the path toward becoming lifelong learners in a positive, safe, and nurturing environment.

Petaluma KinderCare Programs

Infant Programs (6 weeks–1 year)

Leaving your baby in someone else’s care is a big step. Everyone at our
centers—most importantly, our naturally gifted infant teachers—will work with
you to make sure the transition goes smoothly. When you step into our infant
classroom, you’ll see how much we want your infant to feel safe, loved, and
ready to explore their world.

Toddler Programs (1–2 Years)

Everything in our toddler classroom is designed for little explorers. That’s
because a lot is going on at this age. When your child is wandering all over the
place, that means they’re learning and discovering new things every day. We’ll
help them explore their interests (and find new ones!) as they play and learn.

Discovery Preschool Programs (2–3 Years)

This age is filled with so much wonder and curiosity. That’s why we offer a ton
of books and toys and bring artwork down to kids eye level. Children in
discovery preschool also begin to learn how we all work together in a
classroom. Simple math and science, pretend play, and group play help them
get used to a more structured school setting.

Preschool Programs (3–4 Years)

This age is all about expression, when kids really start to form their own ideas
about what they want to play and how they want to create. Every day in our
preschool classroom, your child will explore science experiments, create
artwork, and play pretend—all the skills needed for their big next step:
kindergarten!

Prekindergarten Programs (4–5 Years)

When you walk into one of our pre-K classrooms, you’ll see artwork and
writing displayed around the room. Labels are everywhere to help kids connect
letters with words. You’ll also see pictures on the walls that reflect the families
in our community. Your child will also deepen their knowledge in language,
math, science, Spanish, and social skills.

Learning Adventures – Enrichment Program

Cooking Academy™ (3 – 12 Years)

In Cooking Academy, kids learn new recipes from cultures around the world and
develop a healthy relationship with food. They’ll whip up everything from Southwest
rainbow lettuce wraps to pumpkin muffins, building their skills in STEM, communication,
and more along the way. And yes—little chefs get to eat their culinary creations!

Music Explorers™ (2 – 4 Years)

KinderCare families are already giving a standing ovation to our newest Learning
Adventures program: Music Explorers! Kids will learn to sing, move, listen, play
instruments, and even create their own tunes. Our original curriculum blends math,
science, social studies, literacy, and mindfulness (think yoga!) for a uniquely KinderCare
way of learning the foundations of music.

Phonics Adventures® (2 – 4 Years)

Learning how to read is a whole lot of fun at KinderCare! We help kids grow to love
books and words (and get ready for kindergarten) in our Phonics Adventures program.
From discovering the basics of vowels to practicing poetry, kids learn all about letters
and sounds in small-group lessons made just for their age group. (Bonus: Kids who
attend our phonics program are more prepared than their peers for school—and we
have the data to prove it.)

STEM Innovators (3-8 Years)

You’ve probably heard a lot about how important STEM education is for your child, but
what does that really mean? Our STEM Innovators program takes kids’ natural ability to
make sense of the world and applies it to robotics, chemistry, coding, geology, and
more. While your child experiments, they’ll discover how to use technology to do
amazing things!

Family Stories

Don’t take our word for it. Hear what our families have to say about our amazing center!

• I am a first-time mother who went back to work full time after our daughter was born in July 2015. We, my infant girl and I, have been attending KinderCare in Petaluma for about eight weeks now.
  I can’t tell you enough how incredible and wonderful your staff is at this facility. Being a first-time mother, I was very anxious about returning to work and the options I had for infant care are very limited. I was so fortunate to have contacted KinderCare and toured the facility many months in advance, to prepare for when I would return to work. The staff at KinderCare is truly amazing. They knew my name and child right away and made us feel “right at home” during a difficult transition time for us. They are considerate and supportive, extremely knowledgeable and offer incredibly focused attention on my little girl and her needs while also fostering her sense of community, individual growth and development. I couldn’t ever imagine the GIFT that KinderCare would be for her and us. At first, I was nervous that my “particular requests” for her care would get “lost” in the shuffle of caring for other infants, but right away the staff SHOWED me they had listened to my requests and treated me with total respect. I can’t say enough how much this meant to me. My infant is getting the BEST care I could have ever imagined and knowing how she is being cared for by the KinderCare staff for has completely lain my anxiety and fears to rest and allows me the confidence to be back at work. They are always making sure they communicate with me observations of her, exciting developmental events and tracking her overall health.
  I don’t know every person on the KinderCare staff by name; however, they have always all treated me with kindness and consideration. They are an exceptional group of individuals who deserve a special note of recognition in that they bring 150% to the table, each day and everyday. Your company has a very special resource in these individuals and I encourage you to recognize the “above and beyond” the staff offers just as a normal part of their daily approach to the children they care for.
  Thank you for the opportunity to express how wonderful the experience with KinderCare has been for our family.

  Dear KinderCare Management,
   
  My husband and I wanted to tell you about two of your amazing teachers, Miss Susie and Miss Christina in the infant room.  Our son Luke has been in the care of Miss Susie and Miss Christina since he was five months old and this will be his last week with them before he moves to the toddler room.  We are so sad that Luke will no longer be with these two amazing teachers.  He has grown so attached to Miss Susie and Miss Christina as these ladies treat the kids as if they are their own.  Not only do they take great care of our son and all of the other infants, but they truly love each child and it definitely shows. Our son (and my husband and I) are greatly going to miss Susie and Christina.
   
  Miss Susie and Miss Christina should definitely be recognized, as they are the ones that give KinderCare the excellent reputation that it has.
   
  Sincerely,
   Rob, Ashley and Luke Brown 

   

  Ashley and Rob – KinderCare Parent

• Dear Ms. Susie, Ms. Jenn, Ms. Rana, Ms. Cindy, Ms. Libby, and everyone at KinderCare,

  A huge thanks to all of you for your care and support and answering questions. I felt like such a huge step to put Ani in daycare, but you guys treat her (and us) like family.  You’re all so warm and to have such a welcome reception has greatly reduced my fears.  Thank you so much!  We’re so grateful!

Ilsur Metshin evaluated kindergarten No. 395 after overhaul – News

Photo: Denis Gordiyko

(City of Kazan KZN.RU, December 6, Diana Zhilenkova). In the Moskovsky district of Kazan, the overhaul of the kindergarten No. 395 of a combined type, located on Serov Street, was completed. After the renovation, the design capacity of the preschool institution increased to 280 places, two nursery groups and one group for children with disabilities appeared. The mayor of the capital of the Republic of Tatarstan, Ilsur Metshin, assessed the results of the overhaul and talked with the designers who developed the project for the renovated preschool institution, and the head of the kindergarten. It is expected that he will receive pupils by the New Year.

“Whenever you come to kindergarten, you think what else can be done and how to be creative. But you made me very happy, well done! – praised I. Metshin designers. – When everyone – both designers and management – unites in the desire to make something beautiful, a flight of thought arises. I used to associate kindergartens with a certain melancholy, a little burnt porridge and waiting for my parents to come. But here, of course, everything is completely different. Let the children grow up happy in new comfortable conditions. The atmosphere contributes to this. Let the children bring this happiness from kindergarten to the street, home to their families and to our city, so that we have the happiest city. On the eve of the New Year, it turned out to be a good gift for residents and children.”

In a two-story brick building built in 1988 with an area of ​​2.5 thousand square meters, repair work started in the spring. In the kindergarten, the roof and facade, entrance groups and engineering networks were updated, windows were replaced, load-bearing structures were strengthened, injection was performed, the territory was landscaped, and shade canopies and small architectural forms were installed. The customer of the work was GKU “GISU RT”, the contractor – LLC “Stroyprogress”.

As Sergey Mironov, head of the administration of the Kirovsky and Moskovsky districts, told the Mayor, when choosing the design of the premises, the emphasis was placed on natural motives. Sand drawings appeared on the walls, conveying the atmosphere of the beach, and images of birds from their native land. Children can also see artificial nests of swallows here, as well as plant growing laboratories.

“Now children are more intellectually developed. But it is very important that the child understands what ecology is, loves nature and treats it with trepidation. Care for others, younger brothers, plants and yourself also begins with a careful attitude to nature, – explained the head of the kindergarten, Landysh Yarullina. “We will continue to support this direction.”

The pre-school institution has a music and sports halls, a theater studio, a methodological office, a teacher-psychologist’s office, medical, massage and physiotherapy rooms, as well as a catering unit and a laundry.

In total, kindergarten No. 395 is designed for 12 groups. At the moment, children do not attend it and are waiting for the opening of a preschool institution. For the duration of the work, they were distributed to nearby preschool institutions of the district. “The wishes of the parents were taken into account,” the manager noted. – The children were sent to kindergartens in the same microdistrict. Now they are waiting for the opening to return back. While we are holding master classes for children, these are adaptation events so that they get used to the new space,” L. Yarullina explained.

It should be noted that Kindergarten No. 395 took second place in the nomination “Best Renovation Object” at the Kazanysh Architecture and Construction Forum, which was organized last week in the Uram Extreme Park by the City Development Institute on the initiative of Kazan Mayor Ilsur Metshin.

In total, there are 312 pre-school educational institutions in the capital of the Republic of Tatarstan, which are attended by 76.3 thousand children. Enrollment in pre-school education is estimated at 69%. The occupancy of groups in kindergartens is 104 children per 100 places, the order in which children are placed is 7409human. In total, 12 preschool institutions of the city are included in the overhaul program this year.

There are 39 kindergartens in the Moscow region of Kazan. More than 6.4 thousand children are covered by preschool education.

Together with the head of the city, the head of the Education Department of the Executive Committee of Kazan Irek Rizvanov, the director of the Department for the maintenance and servicing of social institutions Petr Korolev and the general director of the contracting organization Stroyprogress LLC Alfred Khairullin examined the renovated preschool institution.
